Within the Immortal Gate, it was generally considered impolite to openly probe someone’s cultivation level.

However, Chen Mobai had experienced the spiritual power of his father, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. He felt that even Chen Xinglan couldn’t exert as much pressure as the young man who had asked him for directions at the bus stop.

Could he be a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Back home, Chen Mobai couldn’t stop thinking about the young man at the bus stop.

The more he thought about it, the more it felt wrong.

The young man was extremely polite and somewhat old-fashioned, which was characteristic of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were hundreds of years old.

If he really was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then his act of asking for directions was very strange.

There were three hundred million cultivators in the Immortal Gate, but those who reached the Foundation Establishment stage had truly embarked on the path of cultivation. Most cultivators served those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Danxia City was a remote blessed land, it had a permanent population of over a million. Among these million Qi Refining cultivators, there were less than fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators. These people controlled the economy, power, and resources of Danxia City. It could be said that the entire city’s cultivators were creating value for them.

For example, the owner of the artifact factory where Chen Mobai’s father worked was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a second-order artifact refiner.

The owner of the talisman factory where Chen Mobai’s mother worked was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a second-order talisman maker.

Although the Immortal Gate advocated equality for all beings, in reality, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one’s lifespan would increase significantly, and the efficiency of learning under the completion of divine consciousness would also increase. If one was willing to work hard, they could basically control most of the wealth.

Qi Refining cultivators simply couldn’t compete with Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if it was fair and just, they couldn’t keep up in terms of time, let alone after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, they would generally master one of the hundred arts of cultivation.

For the same talisman, if the creators were a Qi Refining cultivator and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if the latter’s price was slightly higher, most cultivators would still buy the one made by the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Not to mention elixirs and artifacts.

It could be said that the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators were the half-owners of Danxia City. Except for Qing Nv’s master, who was said to have a strange temper and a solitary personality, and only opened a pharmacy to maintain his craftsmanship, the rest were all superior beings. Having a car when going out was the most basic.

Why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator need to take a bus and ask for directions?

Unless he was… a foreigner.

As Chen Mobai thought about it, his thoughts began to spread. He wondered if the young man who asked for directions was a friend of Qing Nv’s master. After all, they were both Foundation Establishment cultivators, and he might have come to visit an old friend.

But he quickly realized and began to practice the Calming Heart Mantra while lying in bed.

Under the influence of the Moon-Stepping Melody, his divine consciousness became active again, and his thoughts began to multiply, making his heart restless.

However, he did not practice the “Mind Nurturing and God Casting Technique”.

Because he had decided to make full use of the cultivation room time at school, and he was going to the Nanxi Market again tonight.

With a flash of silver light.

He returned to the Water Mansion again. Looking around, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

He was in the side hall.

That is to say, the teleportation could only send him to the place where he last left, not necessarily in the main hall of the Water Mansion.

However, it would be best to verify this outside the Water Mansion.

Chen Mobai changed into his ancient-style suit, put on a wig with the help of a mirror to ensure there was no modern aura, opened the Azure Water Array, and went ashore.

The Azure Cloud Lake was not far from the Nanxi Market, but even with his full effort in the Levitation Technique, it still took him an hour.

It would be nice if he had a car.

Thinking this, Chen Mobai arrived at the entrance of the market again.

He spent the day familiarizing himself and did not rashly sell anything. He left when it was almost time.

But this time he didn’t return to the Water Mansion, instead, he found a deserted cave and clicked on the return button.

The next day after school, when he clicked on the teleportation button, a prompt popped up on the screen.

“Unusual location detected (Unnamed), continue teleportation?”

Huh?

A new screen appeared on the Turtle Treasure software, and Chen Mobai clicked “Yes”.

With a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and found that he was not in the Water Mansion this time, but in the deserted mountain where he had returned yesterday.

Now he could confirm.

The place he teleported to was the place where he last left.

However, Chen Mobai noticed something different. This time when he clicked on the teleportation button on the Turtle Treasure software, a map-like thing appeared. Although it was still monotonous, there was a droplet-like lake symbol, which should represent the Water Mansion, and a newly appeared earthy yellow triangle, which should be his current location.

He clicked on the symbols on the map with his phone and found that they could be named.

So he renamed the blue droplet as “Water Mansion” and the earthy yellow triangle as “Deserted Mountain”.

“In the future, if I travel all over the Tianhe Realm, this blank map should be filled, right?” Chen Mobai thought to himself.

After studying the newly discovered function for a while, he went to the Nanxi Market again. Since it was close, it only took him twenty minutes.

This time, besides the stall area, he also visited the big shops.

These places didn’t accept gold, they started with spirit stones.

However, the quality and grade of the items sold were far superior to those on the street stalls.

In a pharmacy called Hundred Herbs Pavilion, he saw a familiar bottle, identical to the one he got from the old man. He asked a shop assistant and found out that it was a “Gathering Yuan Pill” used by mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators to enhance their spiritual power. There were twelve pills in a bottle, sold individually for one spirit stone per bottle.

He wanted to find the bottle style of the Flying Probe Sect disciple, but he couldn’t find it. He thought it might be something internal to their sect.

“Senior, would you like to buy some Gathering Yuan Pills? Our pills at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion are personally refined by the alchemy master of Huitian Valley. They are famous throughout the East Wilderness.”The shopkeeper was a Qi Refining third layer cultivator. Seeing Chen Mobai’s attire, he thought he had a potential customer and enthusiastically introduced his products.

“The Gathering Yuan Pill is of no use to me.”

“Well, we also have Gathering Spirit Pills, which are used to enhance the realm of Qi Refining in the later stages. The price is not expensive, only 8 spirit stones per bottle.”

“I just took a pill to break through my realm, and I’m still stabilizing it…”

Chen Mobai couldn’t keep up the act and had to find an excuse to leave.

He then strolled around other magic weapon shops and formation flag shops.

In a bookstore, he picked up a book titled “Introduction to the Major Sects of the Eastern Wilderness” to understand the common knowledge here. He stayed until the shopkeeper couldn’t help but want to drive him away, and then he left the Nanxi Market.

Since he would be spending most of his time here in the future, he didn’t return to the Water Mansion this time, but went to the nameless barren mountain and clicked to return to the city.

By the time he returned, it was getting dark.

After dinner, he went out for a stroll and ended up at the Evergreen Pharmacy.

He walked into the shop and waited for a while. Qing Nv came out from the back door, looking puzzled when she saw him.

“Why are you dressed like this? I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“I admire the ancient style.”

Chen Mobai was too lazy to change his clothes when he came back, so he went out in his ancient-style outfit. After all, there were quite a few people in the Immortal Gate who dressed like this.

“By the way, I have a few bottles of pills that I got from the blind box market. You’re a professional, can you help me check them?”

When Chen Mobai went out, he took out the four bottles of pills that he had stored at the bottom of his cabinet. Although he knew that three of them were Gathering Yuan Pills, he still wanted a professional to identify them.

“These pills are poisonous!”

But Qing Nv’s conclusion made Chen Mobai’s face change.
